Uninspired to play

i get like that too...i mean, music-wise. i listen to music all day at my work (i work at a skateshop) and after a while i just get burnt out. i used to love driving back and forth to places just so i could pump the subwoofers and piss old people off, but now my car rides to and from work are either A)silent or B) talk radio. lame!

I think sometimes you just have to count your blessings; I can't play due to tendonitis, whereas other people, even if they are uninspired, can still atleast play without causing damage to their hands.

Having said that, it is possible to have a legit bad day on guitar where it seems like you've just unlearnt everything; that can be pretty uninspiring to say the least.

i can relate to that as well. im not sure if i have "tendonitis" or "CTS", mostly becuase i dont want to go to a doctor and get it checked out, but ill have that same problem. the worst thing in the world is to physically not be able to play over something as stupid as wrist problems. its not always stinging, either. sometimes it just feels like i hit my funnybone, but in my wrist. hah. luckilly, its not a heavilly-occuring thing, but its no joke when your a working musician/music major who wants to make a living with guitar. scary ****.

I've been having alot of bad luck with the guitar myself as of late. Between Betsy electrocuting me and strings breaking on all three of my guitars in the same week I haven't been playing much myself. It's kinda disheartneing.
